Angered by Jesus’ cleansing of the temple, the chief priest and elders of the Jews asked Jes us, “By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority ?” Matt. 21 :?3; This is a good question, and had the inquirers been honest, Jesus would have told them plainly. They were not, however, seeking to know the source of his authority, but were trying to trap him. All differences are settled by consulting the authority. To determine the correct spelling or meaning of a word, we consult a dictionary. A ruler is used to measure length, and scales are used to get the exact weights. Do we have a simi lar standard which may be consulted to get the right measure to religious questions? Yes, we do have such a standard. That standard is the word of God. Christ prayed that the same oneness that exists between him and the Father should be manifest among his followers. Jon. 17:28-21; Paul begged the Corinthians to be united in speech, thought, and judgement. 1 Cor 1:10; The prayer of Jesus and the plea of Paul could not be answered without a divine standard that would give the right answers to all religious ques tions. A popular song asks the question, “What is truth ?” Pilate asked this question of Jesus. Jon. 18:38; Jesus in his prayer to the Father said, “Sanctify them through thy truth, thy word is truth.” Jon 17:17; While Jesus was on earth he spoke the truth of God. Jon. 8:28; He promised the Apostles that when he left to return unto God. the Holy Spirit would be sent to guide them into all truth. Jon. 14:16-17; 16:13; The Apostles and certain disciples were di vinely guided by the Holy Spirit to teach and to record the truth of God. 2 Pet. 1:21; 1 Cor. 14:37; They were kept from the error of adding to or taking from God’s word. When we read what they have written, we can have their un derstanding of the will of God. Eph. 3:3-4. We have in the New Testament twenty-sev en books which were written by those Spirit- guide men. This is the standard by which all re ligious questions are answered. Are you familiar with its teaching? Eph. 5:17; It is your author ity for all that you do in work or worship to God.
